TAKING CARE OF YOUR LAWN
 Why
do some gardens "work", while others simply look jumbled,
boring, or undistinguished? The answer is "advanced planning"--but
that can be hard to believe, since so many appealing gardens have
a natural look that seems to deny the existence of an underlying
plan. So, get out your gardening gloves.
Taking care of your lawn is as important as taking care of your
house. The most neglected area of landscape maintenance is proper
watering of trees and shrubs. Many plants are more prone to insect
and disease attacks if they are stressed by lack of water.
Watering your lawn is no assurance that adequate water is reaching
the roots of your trees. To water trees and shrubs properly, you
need to use the trickle irrigation technique. Place a hose near
the base of the tree or shrub and let the water run at a trickle
for a few minutes. This method allows water to penetrate the soil
more efficiently. Do this patiently for some days and watch your
garden wear a beautiful, smiling look!
